Blue Jays beat Colorado Rockies 10-4 as Varsho hits pair of two-run homers

Daulton Varsho hit a pair of two-run homers and a two-run double, and the American League-leading Toronto Blue Jays went deep five times in a 10-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Varsho homered after Alejandro Kirk's two-out single off Anthony Molina in the fourth to give Toronto (67-48) a 3-2 lead. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (three hits) and Addison Barger both homered for the 17th time – hitting back-to-back shots leading off the sixth. Kirk walked and scored on Varsho's 11th homer to cap the four-run inning. Varsho's double came in a three-run ninth to complete the scoring. Blue Jays look to put shaky streak behind them Opinion: Risk-averse Blue Jays strike out when it comes to creating hysteria Nathan Lukes had two hits and hit his 10th homer – a two-out shot in the third for Toronto's first run. Bo Bichette contributed two hits, a day after hitting two homers and driving in six runs in a 15-1 victory. José Berríos (8-4) allowed four runs, three earned, in 5 1/3 innings. Tommy Nance pitched a scoreless ninth to end it. Hunter Goodman hit his 22nd homer, a two-run shot in the first for Colorado. Mickey Moniak and Warming Bernabel chased Berríos with consecutive RBI singles, pulling the Rockies within 7-4. Molina (0-1) allowed seven runs on nine hits in five innings in his second career start. Jaden Hill allowed three runs on four hits in the ninth. Toronto has 39 hits in the first two games after collecting 25 in the opener – one off the club record for a two-games stretch.

Blue Jays rock the Rockies by launching five home runs

The hit parade wasn't as extensive as Monday's rout of the Rockies and neither was the evening's lopsided nature. Article content On this night, the Jays made the most of their hits in resounding fashion by unleashing an onslaught of dingers. Article content Article content In the sixth inning, the Jays scored four runs to take a 7-2 lead with all seven runs the result of homers, including two by Daulton Varsho, who homered once in Monday's 15-1 shellacking. Article content Article content Toronto went deep three times alone in Tuesday's sixth inning en route to its 10-4 win, but this game was close on a night the visitors committed two errors. Article content The AL East leading Jays go for the series sweep Wednesday knowing a date in L.A. looms against the reigning World Series champion Dodgers, knowing the red-hot Boston Red Sox are nipping on Toronto's heels. Article content The following are three takeaways on a night Joey Loperfido was hit by a 98 m.p.h. fastball flush off his right knee; he was in clear pain and walked off the field with the aid of manager John Schneider and a member of the team's training staff. Article content 1. Longball Berrios Article content At some point, Jose Berrios will have to address his Achilles heel. Article content For the fifth time in his past five starts, Berrios yielded a homer, a two-run blast in the first inning. Article content It was the 20th home run Berrios has given up in 24 starts. Article content One of his strengths is an ability to bounce back when adversity strikes. Article content Article content Article content Article content In the sixth, Berrios hit a batter and had runners at second and third after the Rockies pushed across one run to make it a 7-3 game. Article content It was a 7-4 game when Berrios was pulled with the tying run at the plate. Article content The home run didn't help and neither did the hit batter to Jordan Beck, resulting in Beck and Berrios to exchange words before Schneider left the dugout to settle things down. Article content A fifth run would have been charged to Berrios, but the Jays turned a double play to end the sixth. Article content 2. Vlad's misery ends Article content Almost lost in Monday's pasting was Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s reaction following a poor at-bat.
